Need help with WiFi 6 mesh (self.homenetworking)

Hopefully I am in the right community.

So I have a router, a TP Link Archer AX53, nice router. I wanted to improve the signal in my room and bought a TP link Deco X10. So CAT 6 cable to my room, connect my router and deco.

I thought this might just be a quick tick to add the deco as a mesh device and boom problem sorted.

Now I know this is not a simple WiFi 6 mesh setup, seems like the deco and archer modem does not work together, they make their individual network points.

Does anyone know a solution or am I stuck with two networks. Not end of the world but would have been nice if it can be one mesh network
